    I was watching footage from his 1994 debate for governor, and he was on fire. He was fluent with large words and complex sentences.

    So what happened between then and 2004? In only ten years, he became a bumbler at the podium!

    Here's the 1994 debate:

    Compare that to the Bush we all know and love today...

    His was the most drastic change, that's for sure. Was this a conscious effort or is the pressure of the presidency to blame? Obama's language skills have also decreased, though not to such a large degree.

    He's aging and no doubt not as fast on his feet as he used to be.

    He was a mass murderer and traitor to the USA in 2001, when he did/allowed 9/11 to happen, and he still is a criminal and should be tried for those crimes.

    He hasn't changed much since he was a gubernatorial candidate, when he was reading from scripts he had memorized in advance. Reports that the president suffers from Dyslexia were also wrong. I think the media poked fun at him by highlighting his minor grammar mistakes back then.

    certain right wingers are pre-disposed to dementia ~ Hitler, Mussolini, Salazar, Franco, Reagan, Bush, all pretty much the same

    Speak for yourself. I never thought he was great, and less so today. He may have some dementia. I'm sorry if he does. He does not have speech writers and he was treated terribly by the left when in office. He may be wary of speaking and of what he says.

    He is a globalist. Leftists either didn't realize he is or they didn't realize they are. Basically, he was a leftist running as a conservative. He had few conservative values.

    Funny how right wingers abandon their heroes when they no longer comport with the far right agenda. Bush started two wars which enriched the wealthy elites and the far right mindlessly supported his treason. He divided the entire nation and started the Great Recession. Now that he does not love and defend Trump, the right wing suddenly despises him.

    No surprise.

    Funny how a right winger equates telling the truth about Bush with the idea of hating whites.

    I didn't really think it was humorous that you hate whites.

    All of the Bush's are butt hurt bigly because Jebb isn't POTUS today.

    All of the Bush's are suffering from Post-Trump Stress Disorder (PTSD) just like most Democrats and neo-cons are.

    Safe Spaces, Play Dough, puppies, coloring books and crayons therapy seem not to be working.

    personal attack noted - typical of right wingers who routinely are defeated in this forum's many debates
